Children of Immigrants Struggle to Assimilate,
By A Customer
This review is from: American Aphrodite : Becoming Female in Greek America (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book for help in finding the origin of the female immigrant identity crisis - especially the greek female. Others will equally benefit from it as it explains the struggle to assimilate into a modern culture yet retain old customs and traditions. Some of the aspects it captures is the struggle for independence; yet maintaing the dutiful daughter personna; the struggle to excel academically and professionally; yet never be threatening to a man. It's a wonderful book for the female struggling with these issues and those who love and care about this person.

all European ethnics living USA can relate,
By "dmwart13" (Buffalo, New York United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: American Aphrodite : Becoming Female in Greek America (Paperback)
This topic is a revelation in that it comforts because it is so true that all groups have experienced the same---but because they are relatively closed to non-members, the outsiders didn't know it. From Greeks to Poles to Italians to you name it, we need more books like this from these those who lived it.
